“We used the Flying House for our move after 10 years in our house. The move was pretty substantial. The crew was professional, efficient, and handled everything with care.”

Why Oakland Trusts The Flying House
The Bay Area's most diverse mix of moves — handled daily
Oakland has the Bay Area's most diverse mix of moves — century-old Craftsman homes in Rockridge, converted warehouses in Jack London, apartments in Uptown and Temescal, hillside homes in Oakland Hills. Every move is different.
We know Oakland's neighborhoods and its quirks — narrow streets around Lake Merritt, steep driveways in the Hills, loading zones in Downtown. Our team handles each move with the right equipment and a crew who's done it before.
Oakland Hills driveways
Steep and narrow driveways are common in the Hills — we bring smaller trucks when needed and use shuttle trucks for the narrowest access roads.
Live/work loft handling
West Oakland and Jack London have many converted warehouses and live/work lofts — narrow doorways, freight elevators, high ceilings. We're familiar with all of them.
Downtown high-rise coordination
Downtown Oakland and Uptown have several high-rises with specific move-in protocols. We coordinate elevator bookings, loading dock access, and COI submissions.
East Bay local know-how
We do Oakland → SF (and reverse) moves weekly. Roughly 45-minute drive, dedicated truck, no consolidation.

“Eddie, Tim, and Roan did an outstanding job. They had the tough task of moving all my stuff through a garage and up to the fifth floor — flawless.”
